Historically, buffer zones or reserved areas have been used to restrict the array of management aclions within unique habitats or sensitive-species areas. This action, although necessary as an immediate protection measure, can create administrative fragmentation of the forest and associated problems over time. Rarely is the dynamic nature of the reserved or buffered area considered and the disturbance events that created and maintained these sites are not conserved.Sizes of buffer zones and reserved areas generally reflect concern for a single management action, such as local timber harvest activities, and do not reflect adequate concem for other disturbances such ----------Waworth cc-indexing enhy note]: "EmphaFis Areas as an Allrmativc to Buffer Zones wd Rcscrvcd Anas in Ulc Consavatim of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Recesses."
